TV Listings - Support Thread

How can I show more hours in the tv Listings? Ideally I'd also like a slightly smaller font to enable this.

I second the IMDB lookup - that would be cool

Hi,

For adjusting the timespan shown by the guide have a look at the following line of your skin.xml file:

Code:

<SpecialElement name="Guide" loc="130,80" size="540,280" visibleChannels="7" guideMinutes="120" scrollMinutes="60" showNavigation="false" borderWidth="2" showStatusColor="false" showStatusIcon="true" brightenCurrentShowsPercent="16"/>

Here you can specify the shown minutes in the "guideMinutes" attribute.

You can specify the used font and its size in the following line:

Code:

<TextStyle name="Guide" color="LightGray" typeFace="Arial" size="12" style="bold"/>

The instructions say to move the file to the GBPVR installation directory. That stumps me. Where is that? Is this the proceedure for all plugins?
Thanks

The installation directory, by default, is C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr

I loaded the TV listing plugin into the dvnz directory and unzipped it. It appeared in the config program and I configured it.
When I went back to the Gbpvr program, I found tht I cold not watch TV or make any recordings. When I clicked on their buttons, I got a message that it "Failed to locate configured capture card". However I am able to do these things under the previous TV Guide plugin. I went back to the config program and enabled the old plugin, and got the same error message. I assume this change is due to the attempt to install the new plugin
I just downloaded this version and it is 99.5. I included a zip of all of the logs. I've not done this before so if there is anything else please let me know

Hi,

it seems that your capture card has not been set up completely, which has nothing to do with the TV Listings plugin itself or its configuration. There seems to be a problem with your second capture source, which is used first when watching live tv:

I seem to have an issue with TV Listings and reoccurring recordings with updated padding time:

I select a show from the TV Listings for reoccurring recording and change the default padding time. The show will then appear in the Recordings under reoccurring with the updated padding time but the individual recordings will have the default padding.

Eventhough the reoccurring is showing the updated padding the individual shows are not scheduled with this value,

I hope, I could explain it so alibert can understand the problem. Doublechecking with the original TV Guide does not produce this problem. Here the reoccurring and the individual padding times are identical.

I hope, this can be solved easily...

Cheers,
Piotre

I just wanted to get this up again. It is not that big of a deal as I now use the regular TV Guide for reoccurring recordings but I would really like to just deactivate the regular Guide completely.

If any further information is required I am more than willing to provide it (probably as private mail in german - alibert, might be a little easier to describe the situation)

Cheers again,
Peter

I've already found out what's going wrong when scheduling season recordings, you can have a look at this thread if you're interested.
And I've already implemented a workaround that solves this problem that'll be included in the next release - I hope that I can release it soon.

Well thanks for the heads-up. That helps and I hope you will be able to include it easily.

Cheers, Peter

Thanks for the help. I had also loaded a patch to the Catalyst software that came with the board, and t apparently was the culprit. After I un-installed the ATI software, and only reloaded the drivers, without the patch, I got GBPVR back up. Now I am ging to retry loading the TV Listings Plugin

thanks again
